Laser therapy for tennis elbow
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests high and low dose laser therapy for people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) that started less than three months ago. It aims to see if laser treatment can reduce pain and improve healing.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests two treatments for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis): shock wave therapy, which uses sound waves to help healing, and blood flow restriction therapy, which uses a cuff to increase blood flow during exercise. It aims to see if combining them works better than either alone, which might help reduce pain and improve your arm's function.
This study tests whether a special energy-based therapy (called capacitive and resistive energy transfer) can reduce pain and improve function in people with tennis elbow—a common overuse injury of the outer elbow. You'll receive this non-invasive treatment and have your progress tracked over time.
This trial compares two treatments for tennis elbow: mesotherapy (injections into the skin) and shock wave therapy (sound waves). It aims to find which works better for pain that has lasted at least 6 weeks.
This trial tests an injection called iEVs for people with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) that hasn't gotten better with physical therapy or anti-inflammatory drugs. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and helps reduce pain.
This study tests whether adding pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (a non-invasive treatment using magnetic energy) to standard shockwave therapy can improve elbow pain and function better than shockwave therapy alone. It is designed for people with long-lasting lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) who have not recently had injections or other physical treatments for their elbow.
This trial tests whether combining eccentric exercises with muscle energy technique can help reduce pain and improve function in people with tennis elbow. It is for those who have had symptoms for more than a few weeks.
